ALICE:
My! What an interesting coat. It looks like a tool chest. Just
the coat for an automobile trip.
HATCH:
Harry, cut those telephone wires.
(Hands barbed-wire cutter to HARRY. To ALICE)
Thank you for reminding me.
ALICE:
Oh, not at all. You've nothing to thank me for.
(HARRY goes to telephone. To HARRY)
Don't make a noise doing that. Don't wake my mother.
(To HATCH)
She's nervous, and she's ill, and if you wake her, or frighten her,
I'll keep the police after you until every one of you is in jail.
HATCH:
You won't keep after us very far when I've tied you up. Bring me
those curtain cords, Harry.
ALICE:
Oh, really, that's too ridiculous.
(Listens apprehensively)
HATCH:
Sorry I had to bust up your still alarm, but after we go, we can't
have you chatting with the police. If you hadn't so kindly given
me a tip about the telephone, I might have gone off and clean
forgot that.
(HARRY takes curtain cords from window curtains.)
REDDY:
I'm afraid pretty polly talked too much that time. We ain't all
stupid.
ALICE:
No, so I see, so I see. It was careless of me. But everybody you
call upon may not be so careless.
